Join the new world

Welcome to eIreland!

You have joined at an excellent time! eIreland is currently in a time where growth is much welcome and you can quickly get involved. Of course, this might be a bit overwhelming, and there may not have been any recent guides on how to get around, and that may leave you missing out on great things. I'm here to make sure that this doesn't happen.

Baby Steps-


You're already off to an excellent start! Reading the newspapers will get you very, VERY far in the world of eRepublik. Reading this article is an example of why, you may figure out some things that you did not know earlier, make your life easier, and hopefully give you an advantage!

By now, you have likely already done these things, but it is always best to make sure that everyone, not just the new Irish, but all beginners do this.

- Upload an Avatar, 5 easy experience points that will get you up to your teens sooner!
- Join a Q1 (1 Star next to it) Company, Some dirty employers of Q5 (5 Star) companies will offer a few cents more for you to work for them. DO NOT DO IT! Each star represents how much wellness you will lose per day you work there. Do not even think about anything above 1 Star till you get higher levels, it will ruin your wellness to an extreme. Right now in eIreland at higher levels the Construction/Manufacturing job market is the best, it certainly will not be in the long-run, as these things constantly change and are unpredictable
- Train! Early on it may take an extra point of wellness off, but the two experiences it will harness you and the earlier you start the more damage you will put out will greatly help eIreland and your rank
- Move to a region with a Q5 Hospital, Later on when you get up to level 5 and you are able to fight, you will be able to get 50 points every day you fight, that's right 50 Points! Imagine that, double of what you have every day! (The Current Ireland Region with a Q5 Hospital is Northeast of Ireland, if you need help getting there PM me and I will get you on your way!)
- BUY Q1 FOOD! I cannot emphasize this enough. Some people may believe that the Q1 Food is not worth it and you can out-do it by fighting and healing at higher levels, but even though the 1xp from food is gone it is still well worth it. Losing 4 wellness a day will let you fight 1 less fight every 3 days at higher levels, and now losing 4 wellness is such a major toll, that you will likely not be able to fight at level 5 without gifts! (If you need Q1 Food, again PM me and I will help you out).

Getting Involved-

You may have come to a Conclusion, so, I'll log in every day once I get home from work, click work, click train, and buy Q1 Food for tomorrow and that's all I can do at these low levels. WRONG! The more you begin to do at low levels, the better. The sooner you get involved with Politics and begin making more friends, the more clue you'll have of the game and hopefully get into the government!

As an eIreland citizen, here are some places you should check out

http://ieforums.hobbittown.com/
This is the motherload of all places. This will have all information going on about eIreland, plenty of guides, places to meet new people like you and get help from more experienced people, and more importantly, will have the majority of eIreland in one place where you can freely discuss with all of them

IRC: irc.rizon.net
#Ireland

If you are IRC savvy, make your way in there, whether you are constantly in there, or just are there every now and then and are idling in there, it will be noticed that you are making an effort. (If you need help getting in there, go to the eIreland IRC Channel part of the eIreland forum and there will be a thread)

http://spreadsheets.google.com/viewform?formkey=dG5JelE1M3ZJanRTTU5md0VNWEFvZVE6MA

Fill this out to get onto the government health care!

Read Newspapers

Like I said above, you are already off to the right start. Reading newspapers will give you so much information that you might not even know what to do with it, but eventually it will all pay off. The great advantage of this is that you can see other countries articles too, not only eIrealnd(Click the International Tab)

Tools to make your eLife easier -


One thing that you may have already noticed is that there are a lot of things that are taken into factor. You can either wing it, or know that you will have it right. Luckily, the makers of eRepublik have given us access to an API, which essentially means that we have the formulas and can figure stuff out. So if you are ever wondering how much damage you will do, or what your wellness will be, or more complex stuff (I recommend you see my Guide to Mid-Teens for that) these places will help you out greatly.

www.erepublik.ws

You could live off this. It has everything, Wellness, Productivity (How much stuff you build at work), how much damage you do, essentially any calculation you could want is here.

www.ereptools.net

This place has A LOT of numbers. Rather than it being a calculator it is an index sort of speak of records of prices, things sold on the market, etc. of eRepublik. If you want to know prices this is the place to go

www.egobba.de

This is an excellent map of the eRepublik world. If you haven't seen the official one, if you go to the top, Info > World Map it is there. I personally prefer egobba.de to this.

Goodbye!


Hopefully you found this somewhat helpful! If you have any Questions, feel free to PM me with them.

Hope to see you in the next eIreland Congress 😉
